Thank you Salt.

I cant express to anyone just how easy it is to make these fried corn tortillas.
They are hard learn at first and you have to experiment but once you have it mastered you will never go back to store bought tortilla chips again.
Hints dont have the oil too hot keep it somewhere around medium or lower.
swish the tortillas around in the oil flip all of the time.
dont try to make them crisp in the oil let them crisp up in a warm oven.
With practice you can make your own taco shells to any amount of crispness you want.
I use a short wooden oak dowel in the shell as I fry it so it keeps its shape.
Just started doing this today.
Again you can make one that doesn't shatter when you eat it.
Hold the shell with tongs and set the shell in the oil bottom first and then the sides.
I do this in a pan with shallow oil.
They beat anything to can get at the store or just about any restaurant around.

Some of the ones in the back without dowel the one in the front with dowel.
